Managing Pyogenic Granuloma in an 14-Year-Old Patient: A Case Report

Abstract

A pyogenic granuloma (PG), also known as granuloma pyogenicum, is a common benign vascular tumor that can grow in tissues such as the skin and mucous membranes. The correct term for this condition is lobular capillary hemangioma, and it is generally triggered by a range of factors, such as mild local irritation, acute damage, hormonal changes, or some kind of medications. When the base and the causes of it are addressed, PG frequently does not develop. Patients of all ages experienceit, with the incidence peaking in the second and third decades of life. The typical diagnosis age for youngsters is between 6 and 10 years old. This case study describes a  14-year-old patient’s surgical management of a PG.
